2 Kevin Durant Frontrunners Emerge If Suns Trade Him

Kevin Durant requested a trade to the Phoenix Suns a year ago in hopes that he would achieve more success than he had with the Brooklyn Nets.

Unfortunately, thus far, Durant has experienced nothing but frustration at his latest stop.

Not only did his squad get bounced early from the playoffs last season, they suffered a similar fate in 2024 despite going against a very green Minnesota Timberwolves group.

Because of that, many have now taken to wondering whether Durant will once again force an exit from his current situation. Particularly given reports about how unhappy he was with the way he was utilized this past season.

As noted by ClutchPoints, two teams have emerged as legitimate frontrunners for Durant in the event that the Suns opt to trade him.

If Phoenix moves on from Durant, the Heat are the betting favorite to land him with odds of +300, per BetOnline… One of Durant’s most coveted skills is his scoring ability. The 35-year-old comes off a 2023-24 season with averages of 27.1 points per game and 41.3 percent accuracy on three-pointers. Durant would add an immediate scoring boost to Miami,” the report noted.

Should Miami not be able to get the deal done, the Los Angeles Lakers are another team to watch. Their best possible offer for Durant is a matter of public record at this point.

One way or another, it will be interesting to see where Durant goes from here. Will he still be a member of the Suns next year? Time will tell.
